Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Let Me Have It. I Am a Bicyclist

There's a reason bicyclists are scorned across the country. Some people just refuse to see why and instead get on the internet and cry about it.

Spell it out for the "slower" folks that like to dress up and play with bikes on the highway.

They're a PITA on roads designed for automobiles, too slow, and often hog the lane creating passing hazards.

They're arrogant, feel entitled, inconsiderate, self-absorbed, passive aggressive (as opposed to outright aggressive like the motorists they piss off), elitists, and let's admit it, they look ridiculous in spandex outfits with a little foam helmet.

They're what's wrong with American values. Them and Walmart people.

And if I ever witness a bicyclist get hit by a vehicle on 13 or 200 I will only slow down to make sure the motorist's car isn't too badly damaged.

ok

when you are riding in a group, and a woman is in front of you, are you watching her butt?

Hitting close to home yet?

I want them to obey the rules (laws) of the road just like automobiles must do. In Oklahoma we have a traffic statute that mandates bikes must ride single file as close to the edge of the road as possible and one that require motorists to pass bike by at least 3 feet if safe to do so. The bike riders in my area insist on riding 3 or 4 across and can't be bothered to move to single file even when I honk to let them know I am coming up behind them. They also do not stop for stop signs or signal turns. That behavior pisses me off to know end.

That person is a grade A cockhole.

Jeeze, even if all 400 Montana residents were on that road at one time, seeing a bicyclist on that road shouldn't be an issue. Interestingly enough, the very part of that highway I zoomed in to street view, there were cattle on the road. Yet another reason to never outdrive your line of sight. Are the drivers up there that bad?

Highways are built, and funded, by modern transportation. They are not a [bleep] entertainment device or exercise equipment. If you are taking up space on the road, do the speedlimit. If you can't, go somewhere else.

Exceptions granted for farm equipment, heavy equipment, and trucks driven by courteous operators.

The drivers are great.

The cyclists are stupid.

What interstate were you referring to?




Clark

I have been the only vehicle (motorized or non) on the road for miles and have been yelled at and brush passed.

So were folks walking along the road yelling at you or did they come out of their houses? Any idea what compels them to do so? You are clothed, right?

Highway 13 is the interstate paralleling Route 2?

You'll have to follow this with a thread about bike lanes, so the same bike bitchers can bitch about them!
